Re: Annicita

One of the photos I have shared has the itinerary, costs ,other travel details & a timetable, according to that I think it took approximately one & a half month.

How many weeks or months did this trip take?

Should have done that tour. I was in the UK in the 60's and other places in Europe as well. This would have been such an excellent experience. I flew home to Australia, and the plane refueled in Calcutta. The airport was surrounded by jungle and was only a tin shed. How quickly life changed everywhere.

Re: Corbin_ Dallas

Back then Afghanistan wasn't this war torn nation and the Taliban wasn't born...so different rather peaceful times.
